I have an image that is stored for a contact. I ended up having to restore my phone and lost the original photo before I transferred it to my computer. However, after the restore and syncing my contacts back over, the image is still there for that contact. This means that the contacts and image is stored somewhere on my computer to be transferred back over to my phone.
I'm running Windows XP and it says that my contacts are being synced with Windows Address Book. Does anyone know how I can somehow extract/export the photo that is being store in this contact?

We made our acceptable with a recirc loop that turns on automatically when the HW is used but it weren't for that we'd be very unhappy.
My primary reason (16 years ago) was tub-filling, followed by space savings, followed by longevity & low catastrophic leak potential compared to tanks. With standing pilot ignition and a 78-80% raw combustion efficiency it was no super-saver but it probably paid for itself in fuel savings in that time frame (and if history at this house was any guide, I would have been replacing a tank before now anyway.)
I only retired the tankless when I retired the 5x oversized cast-iron boiler, to be replaced by a Takagi KD20 tankless, used as a wall hung boiler, serving a reverse-indirect to buffer newly implemented micro-zoning and provide DHW.
Were I totally kermit-complected I might have run a mod-con instead, but the calculated fuel savings of the higher efficiency didn't go NPV+ within the anticipated lifetime of the mod-con. (Lessee, a $400 surplus tankless, or a ~$2800 mod-con, that's a $2400 cost delta... at $80-150/year annual fuel savings, assuming 3% discount rate... nope, still negative at 20 years)
And the tankless gives me WAY more first-hour gallons than an appropriately sized mod-con would. Without running it even as high as 1/2-modulation, with a drainwater heat exchanger feeding the indirect I get "endless hot water" at a ~4gpm gusher in showering mode, and can still comfortably fill the tub using the thermal mass of the indirect, maintained at a modest 130F (heating temp required by the radiation on design day, so WTF, use that temp for the DWH and forget about it). Even when pulling heat out of it at ~1.5-2x the design day with an air handler coil (the 2nd stage of a 2-stage zone) showers run forever with the tankless, but might eventually become tepid with a tiny mod-con.
So, with a tankless running as a boiler I can waste all the hot water I want- SUCCESS!!
And if the miserable Takagi beast craps out in only 5-10 years I can replace it with another $500 tankless (maybe even a cheap condensing version will be available by then) and still be $ ahead. If the price of fuel quadruples in the short term I can revisit the present-value of a mod-con against future savings, but the indirect/buffer and will stay integrated with the heating system (return water from radiation at the bottom of the tank is well in to condensing temps under a real heat load, as well as when under heavy DHW load. It'd average over 90% combustion efficiency, if not over 95% but would suffer very low cycling losses.)
But the last thing I'll be buying is another standalone tank, eh? ;-) (Not that there's anything WRONG with that...)
We made our acceptable with a recirc loop that turns on automatically when the HW is used but it weren't for that we'd be very unhappy.
I've never had any "cold sandwich" problems with my Takagi TK-2.
Is it perfect, no. Does it fill my large tub and allow me to have 3 showers going at once? Yes. It may get replaced in the future but I have to get something large enough for that occasional tub fill. I'm currently looking at different solutions as we added onto our house and it's too long for one heater. It takes a long time for the water to reach the addition from the old location.
Old-skool 78-80% standing pilot versions have NO discernable coldwater sandwich (no flue purge, no ignition delay= no problem!)
TK2s use room air for combustion, so if it's in a 65-70F house the chilling effect of the flue purge & resulting coldwater sandwich is dramatically LESS than it's twin-sister the (sealed combustion direct-vented) KD20 in mid winter when it -5F out, but about the same in the warmer months. (Me, I don't care- my KD20 is only sending those 6-8 ounces of cooler water to a 48 gallon buffer tank of ~130F water, never to a handwashing faucet. :-) )
The coldwater sandwich issue is real, but not nearly as obnoxious in most cases as the tankless critics make it out to be. (It's a princess & pea thing, IMHO.) The flameout & loss of temperature regulation at very low flow in warmwater areas is a bigger deal, but even that isn't very significant (rare, if your lowest modulated input is 20K or less.)
I'd appreciate advice in my situation on whether to go with a tank or tankless.
My water tank is outside in a metal shed, with outside temperatures at the lowest in winter just around freezing (32 degrees) to a high of a little over 100 degrees in summer. My water heater is located directly next to the gas meter, which the gas company doesn't like because it lies within three feet of their meter (flame source in case of leaks at the meter, I guess). Tankless prices are about $2000 to $2500 for a reputable installer installing a takagi, noritz or rinnai, utilizing one of their outdoor units. We have two bathrooms, just my wife and I live there with the occasional visitor. We don't have a high use water item except for a regular tub or shower. I think I can at most squeeze in a 50 gallon tank with 1 inch of insulation around it or a 40 gallon with two inches of insulation. Right now we run the old hot water tank to about 135 degrees in the 10 year old tank we use right now in order to supply us with enough hot water for our needs. A new one hopefully would not need to be run that hot. Until recently, I didn't even know you were supposed to drain the tank once a year. It has never been drained. What the he** do I do?
Still, efficiency bang for upfront $$ spent, in Glendale CA you're likely to do much better with low cost batch-solar pre-heat like the Harpiris SunCache or their competitors, and a well insulated electric tank. After CA and federal incentives the installed cost would be similar to or less than a fossil-fired tankless, and with the extremely low standby losses of an electric tank (as compared to a NG or propane tank), you'd see a greater than 50% reduction in annual water heating costs. Most of the year the electric tank would be drawing zero watts except during periods of heavy water use, as the water entering the tank woud often be hotter than what's stored there (particulaly if you timed your water use well.) The downside is, that under VERY heavy use the recovery period would be fairly long. A more expensive alternative without recovery time issues would be to use an electric tankless in conjunction with batch pre-heat (but that may require an electric panel or service upgrade.)
With either of these scenarios it would need a tempering valve/thermostatic-mixing valve at the output of the electric heater since there will be times where the batch heater is well into the "scald me now" temperature range.
Thanks for the quick reply Dana. I didn't think of a Solar pre-heat. More research. Lucky I am not time pressed at the moment. I actually thought that because I was outdoors, my standby losses were so great that tankless would pay for itself. If not, there seems no reason to do so.
Standby losses for gas fired tanks are several times higher than electric tanks due to convection from the central flue/heat exhchanger and necessary clearance gaps in the insulation. If you opt for solar pre-heat you may get more benefit out of it with an electric tank, but a forced-draft higher efficiency tank might still be cheaper to run, depending on your utiltiy rates. Even if you burned as much as 75 therms/year (50 in standby loss) it might still be cheaper than heating the solar shortfall with electricity. If water heating is your primary gas use during spring/summer/fall (and it likely is), you can probably get a good handle on how much fuel you're using, and what your likely savings/costs would be with different options.
Thanks, Dana.
That's the kind of information that I need.
Thanks to all for the your advices! You share very useful thing for me
PEX or not PEX
Great post. Thanks for all the info...a lot of food for thought here. I haven't installed one myself, but the owner of my company is trying to push these, due to government special tax breaks...I hadn't considered a lot of the things you mentioned at all, it seems you have a valid argument against these things...at least for the time being...

"Gphone": Meet Android, Google's Mobile Phone
Google's mobile phone has been dubbed Android and is actually an Open Source platform with an operating system and applications.
After months of speculation about the "Gphone", the search engine giant has now released tangible details of the project. Instead of a feature-loaded mobile phone the mobile project is an operating system platform called Android, which the Open Handset Alliance project will be promoting. "Android is more significant and ambitious than a single phone", says Andy Rubin, Google's Director for Mobile Platforms in his blog.
Android is Google's term for a Linux operating system, desktop and applications. Google purchases the software basis in August 2007 in the form of Andy Rubin's company. Now, Andy Rubin heads the Mobile Platforms team in Google's development department and has published a Youtube video introducing the Gphone aka Android along with the members of the project team. Rubin writes "We have developed Android in cooperation with the Open Handset Alliance, which consists of more than 30 technology and mobile leaders including Motorola, Qualcomm, HTC and T-Mobile."
Rubin goes on to describe Android as the "first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices" promising "all of the software to run a mobile phone, but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation." Google hopes to achieve faster development cycles and more freedom of choice thanks to the open platform. Google refers to Android as an important part of its strategy to provide information on a platform-independent basis.
Google is looking to release a Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers in about a week's time. Consumer devices based on Android are due for release in the second half of 2008. And Sun boss Jonathan Schwartz has already announced his support. Sun will be seeking to provide a matchin developer environment for Android on the basis of Sun's Netbeans Java developer tools.
This announcement sees Google join the race to deliver a Linux-based mobile platform and to find other enterprises to back the project up. UK-based processor manufacturer ARM is working on a similar project with six partners including Montavista, an embedded Linux system vendor. Competitor Intel announced a Linux operating system on the basis of Ubuntu for x86-based mini PCs dubbed Mobile Internet Devices MID in April 2007.

AUSTIN -- Every day millions of ordinary Americans log onto the Internet and along with them, so do a growing number of predators whose targets are children.
In May, the Texas Attorney General's Cyber Crimes Unit arrested 49-year-old Richard Kaiser, accused of sexually propositioning someone whom he thought was a 13-year-old boy through Craigslist. It turned out to be an undercover officer, and Kaiser was apprehended at their intended rendezvous location in downtown Austin. According to the Texas Attorney General's Office, the unit has arrested more than 300 child predators since 2003 as part of a federally assisted program targeting crimes against children.
"The people that perpetrate these heinous crimes upon kids are always looking for additional tools and mechanisms to get access to potential victims, and of course the Internet has been one of those that we have seen grow," said Joy Rauls. Executive Director of Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas Rauls and her office coordinate assistance for the child victims of abuse.
"There is a repetitive nature to people that sexually abuse children," said Rauls. "An average pedophile across their lives can have up to 100 victims, and we know this from research."
"To better protect children on the Internet, we need stronger tools," Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott told media Friday at a conference announcing the signing of the federal Child Protection Act of 2012. "Dangers like these to children on the Internet are proving to be very pervasive, and state laws alone are not an adequate remedy to address these challenges."
Law enforcement will soon get those tools. Sponsored by U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), the bill will crack down on child abuse, sex trafficking and pornography. The bipartisan legislation was supported in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Florida).
"It will toughen the penalties for the possession of child pornography, and it will make it easier for United States Marshals to track down and apprehend fugitive sex offenders," Cornyn told media. "It will increase safeguards for child witnesses, and it will establish a national coordinator for child exploitation prevention and interdiction."
"It's a billion dollar industry, and probably much more than that," said executive director David Boatright of the Texas Regional Office for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "It's a worldwide problem because of the scope of the Internet and the reach of the Internet, however we find in Texas that many of these images are created and trafficked and maintained in Texas, created in Texas and sent around the world. It's a local problem, it's a national problem, it's a global problem."
The bill will also increase protections for child victims, many of whom are eventually called to testify against their abusers in court. It's a process that Rauls says can add an additional level of trauma and victimization if not handled properly.
"Our justice system is very adult-minded," explained Rauls. "It was not built for children, and unfortunately the process of going through the investigation and prosecution without a lot of care and coordination can be equally traumatizing to these kids."
"That human trafficker has robbed their innocence," said Boatright. "The child advocacy world is to protect that child and to make sure that it is safe and secure and able to testify, because we've got to have the testimony of that child in court, because we've got to secure a conviction."
As the Internet has expanded, so have avenues for child pornographers and those who seek pornographic material involving children. Rauls says the children involved face the victimization of having their images sent around the world in perpetuity, as well as the victimization of the act itself.
"These are children that have been the victims of child sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault," said Rauls. "So it's important to deal with the victimization that's associated with the distribution of that piece of child pornography as well as the trauma that that child suffered through the act that was perpetrated against them."
"As wonderful as the Internet is, it does have a dark side," said Boatright. "The speed of the Internet, the ability to save files cheaper, storage is cheaper, the Internet is cheaper. That has further enabled sex offenders and child predators to amass massive quantities of child pornography for their collections. So as the Internet has become more powerful and quicker and faster, it has empowered predators to be able to collect more images of child pornography."
It's a problem that, like the Internet, isn't going away. Even with the new law's added protection, Rauls says there are ways parents and ordinary citizens can take steps to reduce the risk of coming into contact with a child predator.
"Parents and people that have children in their lives need to really monitor their child's access to the Internet," said Rauls. "If you have a computer with the Internet in your home, put it in a communal space. Don't have it in your child's bedroom. You need to be watching what they have access to."
"On the other hand, legislators, congressmen, decision makers really need to stay in tune with what the different mechanisms for communication on the Internet are so that we can stay on top of things and ahead of the game in crafting pieces of legislation like this one that help protect kids and appropriately penalize those that utilize the Internet for purposes such as this," Rauls added.
"We can never give up," said Boatright. "We can never stop looking, and we can never stop trying to protect Texas children."
In a time where cooperation seems hard to come by in the nation's capital, it's something everyone can agree on.

"If you didn't enjoy the show tonight, you're wrong."
That's how Steve Martin described his performance Sunday night with Edie Brickell and the Steep Canyon Rangers, and I couldn't agree more.
Martin, both a funny guy and banjo player, meant the line as a joke, but I don't know what you could find wrong with Martin's sold-out performance at the 2,000-capacity Holland Performing Arts Center.
The two-hour performance was billed as "an evening of music and comedy," and Martin and his friends delivered on both promises.
"Thank you. Welcome. It has been a longtime dream of mine to play bluegrass in Omaha, Neb.," Martin said upon taking the stage. "Tonight, I am one step closer to that goal."
After the jokes, Martin and the five-member bluegrass group Steep Canyon Rangers jumped into the music, beginning with the mostly instrumental "Katie Mae."
The band worked through several songs, some from his solo album and others from his record with the Steep Canyon Rangers.
Brickell took the stage after a few songs and the musicians - Martin, Brickell, the five-man band and an extra percussionist - worked through songs from Martin and Brickell's album, "Love Has Come For You."
"It's really nice to be here," Brickell said. "I've never been here before, and people are nice."
"You haven't met all of them," Martin quipped.
Probably more well-known for his stand-up and hosting gigs on "Saturday Night Live," Martin is an accomplished banjo player even though he's only been doing it onstage for about four years.
On Sunday, Martin picked his banjos (he had five onstage) sometimes lightning-fast and other times with a more sparse and contemplative sound that sounded more like strumming than finger-picking. He also switched between a three-finger picking style and the clawhammer style, both of which have distinct sounds.
Martin, Brickell and the band's music was amazing, but I was happy to get some laughs out of Martin as well.
Martin's wisecracks usually started off with a serious sentiment before he derailed into something goofy, such as when he looked out over the concert halland said, "I really like what I'm doing now: Touring the country and playing bluegrass in these roadside honky tonks."
He got a lot of laughs.
Most of the songs were serious bluegrass tunes - train songs, one murder ballad and several toe-tapping instrumentals, but some had a comedic bent. "Atheists Don't Have No Songs" was a crack about the influence of hymns and gospel in bluegrass, and the song contained the lines "They'll never sing a song of faith/In their songs, they always have a rule/Their he is always lowercase."
Though Martin was quite literally in the spotlight during the whole performance, the Steep Canyon Rangers includes an impressive array of talent. Singer Woody Platt had a deep voice better than anyone on country radio and fiddler Nicky Sanders played sweet and slow melodies as well as jumpy and moving pieces. His featured performance on "Auden's Train," where he wove classical pieces with bluegrass parts, was incredible.

Earth, With a Frigid Twist
Surface features on Titan form like Earth's, but with a frigid twist
"It is really surprising how closely Titan's surface resembles Earth's," says Rosaly Lopes, a planetary geologist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. "In fact, Titan looks more like the Earth than any other body in the solar system, despite the huge differences in temperature and other environmental conditions."
The joint NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens mission has revealed details of Titan's geologically young surface, showing few impact craters, and featuring mountain chains, dunes and even "lakes". The RADAR instrument on the Cassini orbiter has now allowed scientists to image a third of Titan's surface using radar beams that pierce the giant moon's thick, smoggy atmosphere. There is still much terrain to cover, as the aptly named Titan is one of the biggest moons in the solar system, larger than the planet Mercury and approaching Mars in size.
"With an average surface temperature hovering around -180 °C, water cannot exist on Titan except as deep-frozen ice as strong as rock," Lopes says. On Titan, methane takes water's place in the hydrological cycle of evaporation and precipitation (rain or snow) and can appear as a gas, a liquid and a solid. Methane rain cuts channels and forms lakes on the surface and causes erosion, helping to erase the meteorite impact craters that pockmark most other rocky worlds, such as our own moon and the planet Mercury.
Other new research presented at the IAU General Assembly points to current volcanic activity on Titan, but instead of scorching hot magma, scientists think these "cryovolcanoes" eject cold slurries of water-ice and ammonia. Scientists have spotted evidence for these outflows using another Cassini instrument called the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS). This device can gather the infrared light from the Sun that is reflected back by Titan's surface after passing through its atmosphere, giving clues about the identity of the chemical compounds found on Titan's surface.
VIMS had previously detected an area, called Hotei Regio, with a varying infrared signature, suggesting the temporary presence of ammonia frosts that subsequently dissipated or were covered over. Although the ammonia does not stay exposed for long, models show that it exists in Titan's interior, indicating that a process is at work delivering ammonia to the surface. RADAR imaging has indeed found structures that resemble terrestrial volcanoes near the site of suspected ammonia deposition.
Yet more terrestrial-type features on Titan include dunes formed by cold winds, and mountain ranges. These mountains might have formed tectonically when Titan's crust compressed as it went into a deep freeze, in contrast to the Earth's crust, which continues to move today, producing earthquakes and rift valleys on our planet.
Many Titan researchers hope to observe Titan with Cassini for long enough to follow a change in seasons. The new image released by JPL accompanying this release shows what appears to be a dried-out lake at Titan's south pole. Lopes thinks that the hydrocarbons there likely evaporated because this hemisphere is experiencing summer. When the seasons change in several years and summer returns to the northern latitudes, the lakes so common there may evaporate and end up pooling in the south.

Christian Bale, right, and Steven Spielberg during the late '80s (Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures/Mptvimages.com)
Click through to see who we are talking about and what they are up to today.
Thirty years after 'E.T.,' Henry Thomas, left, starred in 'The Last Ride' in 2012 (Photo: Category One Entertainment …
Recognize the guy on the left? It's Henry Thomas, who played Elliot in the Steven Spielberg classic "E.T." "It certainly wasn't something that I ever thought I'd be talking about 30 years from then," Thomas told Yahoo! Movies earlier this year about the anniversary of the iconic film. "It's funny because I think it's just now starting to hit me how hugely successful it was and what a big deal it was." Thomas, now 41, married, and the father of three, is still acting, recently portraying Hank Williams Sr. in "The Last Ride."
[Read our entire interview with Henry Thomas.]
Fred Savage (far left) and Peter Falk in 'The Princess Bride' (Photo: Everett Collection, Jason LaVeris/Getty)
Fred Savage, now a television director and producer, a husband, and a father of two, is as nice a guy as you'd hope he would be. We spoke with Savage, who is now 36 years old, about the 25th anniversary of "The Princess Bride," in which he appeared as a child. "It's pretty incredible the life that this movie has taken on," Savage told Yahoo! Movies earlier this year.
[Read our entire interview with Fred Savage.]
Candace Cameron then and now (Photo: Everett Collection/ Courtesy of Candace Cameron Bure)
The girl who once played D.J. Tanner on "Full House" has indeed grown into a gorgeous woman. But you may be surprised the extent to which Candace Cameron Bure (yes, she has tacked on her married name) has truly become an adult. Now 36 years old and the mother of three, her oldest, daughter Natasha, is three years older than Candace was when she first appeared on the popular family sitcom 25 years ago. She also recently starred in "The Heart of Christmas." Yes, she is still acting, but told Yahoo! Movies she chooses her roles carefully: "Over the years there are television shows that are on right now that I've been asked to do -- and just have turned down because I have some boundaries as to what I will and won't do with characters, even in just some moral choices that I don't necessarily want to push on every character."
[Read our entire interview with Candace Cameron.]
(Photo courtesy of Kim Fields)
The actress-director-producer, who enjoyed television sitcom fame in the '80s and '90s on hit shows "The Facts of Life" and "Living Single," doesn't seem too concerned. While Fields realizes her fans will always know her as Tootie and Regine, she told Yahoo! Movies it's important that "...they see me as Kim Fields (actress, director, poet, wife, mom), and that means a lot to me."
[Read our entire interview with Kim Fields.]
Ashley Johnson, center, in 'The Avengers' (Photo: Marvel)
Remember the little curly-haired carrot top Chrissy on "Growing Pains"? Well, that's her in the above image, front and center, in a small but memorable role in the year's highest grossing film, "Marvel's The Avengers." Ashley Johnson, now 29 years old (she has since had a birthday since we first mentioned her brief appearance in the film) didn't feel like revisiting her past childhood stardom, but did tweet her appreciation when we took notice of her "Avengers" role: "Thanks Yahoo for the article! But I wouldn't quite call my role 'pivotal'. Haha."

Mara Wilson then and now (Photos: 20th Century Fox/Everett & Courtesy of Mara Wilson/Facebook)
[Related: 'Matilda' child star: Film acting is not fun]
Christian Bale in 'Empire of the Sun' (Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures/Mptvimages.com)
As "The Dark Knight Rises" started gaining momentum at the box office over the summer, we thought it fitting to take a look back at how Christian Bale first broke into the industry. We now know him as Batman and also as the actor who went to Aurora, Colorado, to pay his respects to the victims of the deadly July 20 mass movie theater shooting. But when Bale was just around 13-years-old, he was the star of the Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun."

GREENEVILLE, TENNESSEE -- I'm somewhat upset that it took me approx. 20 minutes to locate a way to contact your company. All I wanted was to let you know I had received an email supposedly from your company stating I had won 1.5 million euros and that I needed to provide some info by going to a Pepsi site. Below is a copy of the email I received. You should seriously consider whether or not you want to make it this difficult for a consumer to contact your company. This experience will cause me to seriously consider whether or not I have the time to find contact info for another company.

No wonder these emails still go out - there are gullible people.
Posted by madconsumer on 2007-11-23:
if this email address is not evidence enough to determine a fraud, not sure what else would be.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-11-23:
I agree with Foggy. The Nigerian scam's, lottery scam's etc. The reason why these crooks send them out is because there are always people that will fall for them. There are even commercials on TV now warning people of these scams but people still fall for them.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-11-23:
deirdra, we are reading this wrong, right? You really were just trying to warn everybody about a e-mail scam, RIGHT?
Posted by FoggyOne on 2007-11-23:
In re-reading this I believe you are right Lidman.
Posted by LarryDan on 2007-11-23:
I'm pretty sure most all companies know about Phishing scams, no need to pass it along to them, just DELETE.
Posted by maxi on 2008-02-22:
It would have been nice if you provided the email address of Pepsi for those of us who also want to contact them with respect to this scam. As a matter of fact I never did figure out how to find their email address, that's why I am making this suggestion to you. I'm still interested in contacting them and hearing what they have to say, if anything. Did they ever get back to you?
Posted by sparkle on 2008-03-09:
when I receives these types of email I always forward them to scam control I have recived several emails about me wining when I know I have never applied, so when you get an email just forward to scam control.
Posted by GenuineNerd on 2008-04-20:
Judging from the text of this letter, it is suspicious. It asks you to reply to a German Yahoo address. The only legitimate Pepsi promotions are those advertised on their packaging (such as the current "Pepsistuff" promotion with Amazon.com), or contests/sweepstakes offered through their "PepsiXtras" and "Mountain Dew Dewsletter" newsletters. Anything else is a fraud. Pepsi never advertised this contest via their products in the stores, so it is a scam.
Posted by Patman21 on 2008-09-29:
Actually, it sounds like she is trying to tell this to Pepsi
*Clears throat*
Dear you
Thank you kindly for the lottery receipt. We at Pepsi want to make sure that your Pepsi is scam free. Here, have a donut.

In God We Trust
Posted by Nicki333 on 09/24/2004
I just received an email with which I fully agree... Many more americans believe in God in this country as opposed to those who don't. Why offend the majority for the sake of a fanatical minority?:
----- Original Message -----
Subject: Fw: Don't buy Pepsi in the new can
. Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with pictures of the Empire
State Building, and the Pledge of Allegiance on them.
However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, "Under God." Pepsi
said they didn't want to offend anyone.
In that case, we don't want to offend anyone at the Pepsi Corporate Office,
So, if we don't buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended when they
don't receive our money that has the words "In God We Trust" on it.

Parents have to stop pointing their finger at society all the time and start raising their kids themself. If everyone raised their kids the right way, we wouldn't have a society like we do...think about it...it all begins in your home! What is printed on a Pepsi can isn't going to bring the world to an end. How many people read their Pepsi cans anyway? This was said to be a rumor, but if it isn't...big deal...get over it...there are people who put their kids in a daycare before they are even a year old because some parents doesn't want to be bothered (I'm not referring to those who have no other choice because they have to work, I'm talking about those who put them there just so they can have time to themself when they are there to take care of their own kids at home). That is a cop out so they can blame everyone else when the child goes wrong. You don't raise kids by what is printed on a beverage can!

Thank you Pagangirl i feel the same way about things, i'm a hard worker i dont break the law and i come from a great family, where we werent forced into religion after we turned a certain age. i was raised catholic until i could make decisions on my own and then my parents let me make my own mind up about what i wanted to believe in. i didnt stay brainwashed like most others.

Bad commercials
Posted by on 11/14/2001
EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA -- Every time (or almost every time) I enter the movie theater, I see one of Pepsi's commericals, featuring Britney Spears in what appears to be next-to-no clothes. This ruins the whole movie experience for me. It also makes me sick just to watch the commercial. Why does Pepsi have to resort to sex appeal just to sell a 12 pack of Pepsi?
I would like this trash REMOVED from the airways so it doesn't ruin my entertainment experience.

Any commercials in a movie theater other than previews of coming movies should be eliminated completely. I also mute or turn off commercials in my home, but can't do that in the theaters. After paying to go to a movie, I should not have to watch commercials. I am sure that is why so mayn wait to rent them on video.

I guess your not aware of the fact that movies and tv shows need those commercials. They need them to sponsor te movies & tv shows to pay for them to air and to show in theatres. Without them there would be no tv shows, news or movies.
Posted by Anonymous on 2003-01-21:
movie theaters did not always show commercials before the movie. it is only in the past decade that they started doing that. so, no, they don't need the commercials. television needs the commercials but not movie theaters.

I agree!! I am sick of half nude girls selling everything from cola to toilet paper. Britney is a beautiful girl who should have more self respect.
Posted by Junker1163 on 2004-10-08:
What is wrong with commercials in movie theaters? They play the ads BEFORE the movie, not DURING. And they probably get a lot of money from it, with out the ads, they may have to charge MORE for movie tickets, think about it, would you pay more money so you don't see a few ads?

New bottle caps

mad, I don't like to buy Pepsi in cans. We have a 10-cent deposit on carbonated beverage bottles and cans in my state, thus I don't just toss them when empty. To avoid a collection of ants and other critters in my apartment, I like that screw-top bottle which can be completely closed while I collect them for the return of that dime per bottle.
This was also covered at:
Until they've made a correction, I think we're in for a lot of hard to open bottles.

only for cans?
here in ny the deposit tax is 5 cents but it's on ANYTHING that's carbonated & in a recyclable container. glass, metal, plastic...
oh and i think they followed through on the tax for non-diet sodas too :-(

Flimsy New Bottle
Posted by Thumper916 on 07/19/2009
This bottle is so flimsy. It is hard to open so I squeeze the bottle slightly to get a good grip on it. The water always shoots out of the bottle and gets everywhere.
Also I dropped a couple of these bottles and both times they split open and water ends up all over the place.
These bottles are horrible.

Put a filter on your kitchen sink and then you can store your water in glass bottles or sturdier plastic bottles.

Get a reusable bottle at WalMart for a buck and a half. while you are there, get a Pur filter unit that fastens on your water faucet. You will have water that is every bit as good as paying someone for the water they put in bottles from their citie's water supply and put in an expensive bottle taht you will chuck in the trash, never realizing that bottle will be in the landfill when the next couple of millenia arrive.

Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-20:
Best Answer, Starlord. I do exactly as you described. The filter on my kitchen sink costs less than 20 smackers and lasts at least six months. I have a reusable gallon jug in the frig.
I also have a 24 ounce "sippy cup" I fill when I go out running errands, etc.
This option saves dumping bottles in landfills and is less expensive.

Thank you, Raven. It is amazing to me that the tree huggers, who carry on about the ecology and saving the planet will go through 2-4 bottles of water a day, and most towns cannot recycle those bottles. Odd, don't you think?

Agreed, Star. A couple years ago on Biggest Loser, they started a campaign against bottled water. I was AMAZED at the number of bottles that show alone saved from being dumped in a landfill to live longer than any organic material ever has a chance to live.
Small things DO matter.

Dumb Move!!!
Posted by Jovita1953 on 03/11/2011
Why would you stop providing Pepsi one to your loyal customers in Texas? Now what? Pepsi max sucks!!!!! I guess I have too try Coke products again. The coke people did this to me when they stopped selling New Coke years ago and then I started drinking Pepsi and loved it. Then to lose weight I tried Pepsi one and been drinking them ever since. This really sucks to have my favorite drink taken away without any kind of good reason!!
Put it back on the shelves of our stores! It sells, cause the stores I'd buy from always ran out!!!

Diet soda will not help you lose weight. One can of soda a day can pack on 10 pounds a year, diet soda included. Carbonation makes your stomach expand. If you want to lose weight, then drink water.
Posted by Skye on 2011-03-11:
Try Coke Zero. I think it tastes great. You can also contact Pepsico, and ask them why you cannot find it anymore.
Here is the link:

Carbonation does not make your stomach expand. Diet soda can make you gain weight because the aspartame may increase cravings for sugar and lead to over eating.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-03-11:
Its all about moderation. One can of diet pepsi a day is not going to make you gain 10 lbs. thats ridiculous.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-03-11:
Pepsi One sales aren't what the marketers anticipated it to be, so they are discontinuing it. While there may be a few remote areas such as the OP's shopping locations that keep it moving off the shelves, that isn't sufficient enough sales to carry the brand nationwide.
Posted by CrystalSword on 2011-03-12:
Pepsi ONE is fantastic, and becoming harder and harder to find, and its never on sale here. All the other Pepsi products are on sale but rarely if ever does that include Pepsi ONE....plus its the only soft drink I can handle that isn't full of either sugar or aspartame, the aspartame gives me a raging headache.
Posted by Starlord on 2011-03-12:
Aspartame gives both of us raging headaches. Safeway has specials on Pepsi products, hen you see the small lettering that says selected varieties. Pepsi One is never a selected variety. If Pepsi says the sles hav beenlow as a eason for discontinuing it, how the blue Susie do they expect to sell a lot of it if the stores don' have enough of it. They can't sell what they don't have, andconersey, we can't buy it if the store doesn't have any. Pepsi Oneis the ONLY Pepsi product we can drink. All ofthe Pepsi products contain either high fructose corn syrup or aspartame, except Throwback, which has cane sugar. Between my diabees and our hadache response to aspartame, we are screwed.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-03-12:
I don't think diet soda makes you gain weight. I'm not a big soda drinker, but a diet soda can stop my craving for something sweet. What it really does is make me want something salty! And I don't even like salt.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-03-12:
I also enjoy pepsi one. I like Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi, but Pepsi one as a slightly different taste which I enjoy. It will definitely be a shame if they discontinue it completely. I really like diet wild cherry pepsi and diet cherry coke but thats also very hard to find anywhere. when I was younger I could down a 6 pack of regular coke in a day. After gaining a lot of weight I changed my lifestyle. I can't even FINISH a whole can of regular soda, its just WAY to sweet! They put like 13 tablespoons of sugar per CAN! Ridiculous! And they wonder why america is full of obese and diabetes.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-03-12:
Im also not a big fan of just plain water. As much as I know it is good for me, I just don't like it. Ive come up with a compromise where I drink Crystal Light, well wal mart's version of it since its cheaper. No caffine, no calories and tastes good.
Posted by CrystalSword on 2011-03-12:
Prince, even the crystal Light would be fine as an alternative for us...but, alas, it contains ASPARTAME.
Posted by patriot redsoxfan on 2012-01-26:
My husband hates it because pepsi one is going out because he never has liked regular pepsi because it tatstes too sweet to him. Now he is diabetic so he can't have it anyway either. What can we do to get pepsi to start making it again?
Posted by Marci on 2012-04-09:
I am not worried about the pros and cons of aspartame and Splenda--I simply LIKE the taste of Pepsi One. To me, it tastes better than Diet Coke, regular Coke, regular Pepsi, or Diet Pepsi. I am really annoyed that it's being discontinued.
Posted by Jerry on 2012-10-17:
Have you noticed the 24 pack of pepsi one says one calorie per can, but the can now says "0" calories. they took out 100% of the calories but the price is still the same!

I hate, hate, hate the new bottle caps!
Posted by Cindy D on 11/16/2009
The ridges on the new bottle caps hurt the hands. I am no longer able to open the 24oz size bottles. I have to ask one of the men in the room to open it for me... and they complain that the cap hurts their hands too, or I have to use a plier. Please go back to the old cap.

Posted by Anonymous on 2009-11-16:
It's easy to tell the OP to just find a different way to open the bottle, but that doesn't solve the problem. Opening a Pepsi is not the same as opening a jar of pickles, mainly because you open a jar of pickles once every so often, but a bottle of Pepsi every day, maybe several times a day.
Pepsi's new caps aren't consumer friendly, at least for this OP. Maybe the OP could contact the local Pepsi distributor and let them know. Maybe she can contact Pepsi through their web site. Maybe it was just a bad batch?
Oh, and z, I just knew you would NEVER give up going after those pickles. No matter what. (Funny, of all the examples in the whole wide world you could have chosen, you chose pickles.)
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-11-16:
I think you misread what I wrote. Offering alternate solutions to opening the Pepsi isn't really a viable response - in my opinion. Must she carry a damp cloth or latex gloves or pliers or whatnot with her just to enjoy a tasty Pepsi? I think she should direct her concern directly to Pepsi.
I'm never in awe of you, pickleboy, but always pretty disappointed.
Posted by PepperElf on 2009-11-16:
shouln't that be "my" instead of "your"?
JK! *hugs*
but seirously i haven't noticed the new caps myself.
hope you can find some hand relief.
in the meantime all i can suggest is a small rubber disk (the classic jar opener floppy thing) or cans instead.

Pepsi:For when they don't have Coke!
Posted by Mfchele on 2009-11-30:
The Pepsi caps are also smaller and harder to grip. I've been trying for 30 min on my lunch break to get this bottle open... I'm still thirsty! If Pepsi doesn't fix this I'm switching to Coke but they changed their caps too so I don't know if they will be any easier to open. We'll see. BTW... I never felt the desire to open a pickle jar driving down the street in my truck or at work on my lunch break or in the park while walking my dog. There are no wet towels or latex gloves or anything else to use in those areas... at least not in my world. Wish I had a pair of pliers right now. Maybe I'll take it outside and throw it on the ground a couple times and see what happens. :)
Posted by Ponie on 2009-12-22:
I know this is an old complaint, but it finally affected me this morning. I guzzle Diet Pepsi by the boatload and didn't know what these complaints were about. Found out when I started a new 6-pak. of 24 oz. bottles today. Had to get out the pliers to open a bottle. Taking a good look at those caps, it looks like the spin-weld cycle has to be adjusted by probably less than a millisecond. I'm sure the bottler has made the correction, but who knows how many millions got through before it was discovered? Lack of quality control? Probably. All I know is I have six 6-pks. that I picked up Friday whose caps have the same flaw in sealing. Next time I buy Pepsi I'll be sure to take a good look at the bottle caps to be certain they're not solidly closed. AAARGH!!

Requesting Donations For Local Fund Raising Events
Posted by Katiecamero on 08/24/2008
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA -- My name is Katie Camero. I am a local business person in Jacksonville NC. I am also this years event coordinator for our local motorcycle club (Southern Cruisers, Port City Chapter 162) 6th annual fund raising event called "Run to the Sun" which benefits St Jude Childerns Research Hospital.
I contacted the Wilmington Pepsi Company and requested a donation. I was told to fax the information and I would get a response in 3 business days.
Being a local business owner I know that I receive quite a few requests for donations for local events, and that I can not possibly donate to every person who makes a request.
When asked I always just say, I am sorry I can't help you this year. Please try again next year.
After 2 weeks with no response from Wilmington Pepsi, I called to make sure that my request was received.
The person who answered the phone SHOCKED me, by how rude they were.
I was told, "Of course we received your request, If you did not hear from us it is because your not getting anything!"
For the past 25 years my company has served Pepsi products. I chose Pepsi because I have always received excellent customer service.
Never has anyone at Pepsi been rude to me.
I would have completely understood if the person had just said, I am sorry we are unable to help your event this year. There was no need for them to treat me rudely.
I just thought you might want to know this.
Thank you for your time,
Katie Camero

Unfortunately not everyone has the same class that you do. If it were me, I'd call back and ask to speak to that person's direct manager and let them know of your experience, I'm betting they won't be too pleased to hear it.
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-08-24:
I agree with justcuz. I would ask for the direct manager of this individual. Perhaps they did not wish to contribute, but I am sure that management would not be happy to hear that their representative was so rude. But, I suggest you remember the conversation clearly. Make sure that you were not aggravated by the lack of initial response to your request and that you are not reading more into what happened when you called back.
Posted by wgaguy1984 on 2008-08-24:
I don't think there's any way "Of course we received your request, If you did not hear from us it is because your not getting anything" could be a polite comment that misconstrued by the OP in frustration.
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-08-24:
wgaguy1984, people can "embelish" upon what really happened when they are upset. That was my point. I have another point to. How do we konw that this post is not a solicitation or spam? There sure is a lot of pertinent information about the motorcycle club including the chapter number, along with the charity the money is for along with her full name. Why not just post that she attempted to get a contribution from Pepsi and was treated badly? I always look at these posts with a skeptical eye.
Posted by GenuineNerd on 2008-08-25:
Because of the economy, many corporations are cutting back on their charitable donations, especially at a time when demand for services from such charities is at an all time high. However, it is wrong for the local Pepsi bottler to give you such a rude response to your request for a charitable donation. At least they could have sent you a form letter or gave you a courtesy call explaining why they couldn't donate.

Rachel: There was a time (long ago in a far distant galaxy) that soda only came in glass bottles and you had to use a can opener to open them. I remember many a beer bottle that I opened with my belt buckle :>)...Anyway, please be careful with those scissors and knives!

I have the same problem with Gatorade bottles. The 16oz kind. More than one occassion I've almost sprained my wrist trying to open one of those damn things.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-14:
It isn't just Pepsi...alot of these plastic bottles suddenly became very difficult to twist off. I've done the knife bit a few times myself...glc, at least you used your belt buckle...I remember guys who used to use their teeth to open those bottles...needless to say, they lost their teeth at a young age.
Posted by beanbagbritches on 2006-08-14:
I can't believe you actually complained about this. Get your husband to open the bottles & quit complaining.

Or buy your Pepsi in cans.

call the company and tell them you had a hard opening then bottle. they may send you a coupon for a free bottle for your time.. what have you got to lose.
Posted by Sparticus on 2006-08-14:
Well I still believe this is a valid complaint. More than a few times my wife has asked me to open a gatorade and I've had trouble opening it. On one occassion I actually twisted the hard plastic bottle out of shape and the top still would not budge.
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-08-14:
Yeah Sparticus, I know exactly what you are talking about. I too have hurt my wrist trying to spin the cap off of a Gatorade bottle. It's a bad hurt that shoots up your arm. Glad to know I'm not the only one! LOL
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-14:
I agree it's a valid complaint...but it isn't just Pepsi...What you also can do, if you want to take the time, if it happens again and you have to cut the bottle...send the top of the bottle to them, if not the whole bottle so they can send it to their quality control department and they will investigate it to find a solution. If they are not aware of the problem, they can't fix it.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-14:
Send it with the lid intact, so they can possible see if maybe the machine that caps the bottles may be off just a little, causing it to apply a hair off.
Posted by Noneill on 2006-08-14:
Very valid complaint and exactly why this website exists. I don't believe every complaint must apply to all. I am sure Pepsi would appreciate feedback on this issue.
Posted by CrazyRedHead on 2006-08-14:
I have noticed this to. Over the years I have been getting more and more pain in my thumb and pointer finger, I think that it is the beginning stages of arthritis. I can hardly open any screw top bottle that is small, anymore. I used to have a piece of gripper rubber that opened bottles pretty well, but it is the small ones that hurt alot. If there is no one here, I either have to suffer or go without.
I understand for some that this is a petty complaint, but not for those people with arthritis or pain in there hands with no one there to help. 5 years ago I would have thought that this letter was silly, but age catches up to everyone eventually and will affect everyone differently. Try to have some sympathy for those of us that are getting old.
Posted by rachelvillalobos on 2006-08-14:
well thanks for all the helpful advice..and for those who thought this was a dumb complaint."hello....!"isn't this why this website exists?? My husband isn't always available when I need something opened and besides I hate not being able to open a freakin 2-liter on my own....anyways,I have sent a complaint in to Pepsi so I'll keep you posted...

You can use a pair of pliers they work well. I though I was just getting old and week.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-15:
Pliers? Isnt't that the tool with the long handle and a claw on the other end and a flat on the other? How can you open a 2 liter with that? Pound it to death?

Or is that the tool that looks like a corkscrew and goes around and around until a hole appears? Yeah, I guess you can use that and pour the drink out of the hole!

For those with nothing better to do than complain that someone has complained about this, I think the comment is a very reasonable suggestion for Pepsi Cola, and the cool thing is that she can forward her message to Pepsi this way! The company needs to know what their customer's are thinking.
Posted by Tis4Trouble on 2007-09-01:
Yes, I agree, valid complaint/rant. Some are just impossible for anyone to twist open, no matter how strong you are. I've had 2 bottles like that, in the last few days, a bottled water and a soda, made by same company. What do ya do, though?? Take it back to the store and exchange, before risking hurting yourself, unless you are DYING of THIRST. LOL! It's one of those things that is bound to happen, and we just have to deal w/ it.
Posted by laklisa on 2010-02-13:
I have sympathy right now. I am sitting here at work, straining my hands trying to get a Dr. Pepper 20 oz to open. The *#@& thing isn't budging at all. Unfortunately there are no strong men around to open it for me. I have tried wrapping a rubber band around the top and still nothing. *sigh*

I have a hard time with both Gatorade bottles and Pepsi bottles. One time, when I tried to open a Gatorade bottle, it got so bad that after a couple minutes of trying to open it, I began to get a blister. The same thing happened once with a Pepsi bottle, only, now whenever I am having just the tiniest bit of trouble opening a bottle, the place where I got the blister from previously, starts to turn red.
Posted by GreatToSeeThis on 2012-08-27:
I have TWO 2 liter Pepsi bottles sitting in my kitchen that I can't START to open, much less my wife or even a neighbor. I'm calling the place I bought them from and foolishly going to ask them if I can return them for two others (I'll have to sit in the store and try them one after another until I find two that I can open). I have blisters and the skin off one hand where I've tried and tried with these suckers. I'm glad someone's complained to them...this is pretty bad.
Posted by WhyOhWhy on 2012-09-20:
I've had extreme difficulty opening many 2-liter Mountain Dew bottles this past year. I've contacted MD via their web site about the problem. They were kind enough to send me some coupons. Still, the problem exists. I often have to use a pair of pliers to open them. I wouldn't be surprised if a toddler would have an easier time opening the most-secure child proof cap on a bottle of medicine than many adults have with these 2-liter bottles.

C20:Do you think I could get compensation since I suffered for a couple days thinking I couldn't get my fix? :-p
Posted by Starlord on 2009-04-30:
I totally disagree that Pepsi Max is Pepsi One. Pepsi One is made with Splenda and Pepsi Max is made with aspartame. My wife and I cannot drink any soft drink made with aspartame, as it gives us both a roaring headache that kicks in about ten minutes after drinking said poisonous concoction. Simply reading the ingredients reveals the presence of aspartame, fortunately.
Posted by Bob W..Pa. on 2013-03-04:
Thank god I am not alone.For longest time I have been complaining that the "best" diet soda I have ever had "PEPSI ONE" has been removed as a conspiracy to push new products as Pepsi Max , etc... To be blunt they stink and fail in every aspect.Pepsi One sells out everywhere and when will those responsible go with what your customer tells you.If you keep making it scarce you will lose customers to "COKE ZERO" etc...Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Max STINK ! Sorry Bring back PEPSI ONE
Posted by L Allen on 2013-04-28:
LOVE Pepsi One, no other diet drink compares! I, like Starlord, cannot drink anything with Aspartame without getting a horrible headache. Hope that Pepsi wises up and markets this product appropriately. If they discontinue or make it more difficult to purchase I will start drinking......water!!!
Posted by David C. on 2013-06-01:
I loved Pepsi One and drank it by the case for years and then they discontinued it. I've tried Pepsi Max and all the other Pepsi products and none of them taste like Pepsi One. I've discovered a reasonable substitute which is Diet Coke with Splenda. A good drink. Bye-bye Pepsi.
Posted by rene Moose on 2013-06-09:
i will never buy another pepsi product again because of the ridiculous commercial. We are a society built on commercialism and that is what you came up with, a moronic commercial with a baby and parents acting like it is of some importance ....never again, not pepsi or any related products. Way to go Pepsi, you made a black mark in smart column
